Save Money on Telephone Bills and International Calls

I have a previous post about Magic Jack, how it cheap it is compare to conventional phone services. Well I have another one here but it is not about conventional telephone it is only about making a free call, specially international calls.

The best way I find to make a free international call is by using VOIP or voice over internet protocol. Basically it is using a computer to make calls. Skype is one of the famous name when it comes to VOIP. My problem with Skype is, it is only free if you are calling another Skype user but if you are calling a regular phone the are charges and it varies depending what country you're calling.

Whistle phone, it is also a VOIP, but it could also place free calls on US landlines and mobile phone, all you have to do is download the software from their website and register to open an account. In this way friends and family outside the US can a call to my landline and mobile phone for free instead of placing an international call which is expensive.

Update:
We are now using Google Voice see my post about this Here

Magic Jack

Magic Jack really works like magic for me. Why? Because it would provide you with a phone service that is phenomenal. The only requirement is high speed internet connection. But if you’re using dial up just forget it.

What is Magic Jack? it is a PORTABLE gadget th at you plug in to your computer through the USB port so you can have a telephone service. You can plug any telephone on the Magic Jack and use the phone just the way you use it or just use your computers audio out and microphone to make a call. It is better than any phone service provider here in the US when it comes to price, nobody can beat the 19.95 dollars PER YEAR that magic jacks offer. The thing with magic jack is your are going to be given a new US telephone number so therefore wherever you bring it the number goes with it. So if you have a laptop you can take you phone with you when you travel (but off course there should be an internet connection from where you’re going ) that you cannot normally do with any phone service.

If you always make international call to any country why not just send them a Magic Jack (But then again if they have internet connection) so that you can call them using your Magic Jack or any regular US phone line, could be your cell phone or the phone line at your office or they can call back on your cell phone or at your office or just any telephone as if they are here in the US. This is also what makes it better than Skype, Yahoo messenger or any Voice chatting software there is.
